\u201cI don\u2019t believe it!\u201d called Optimus happily over the screen the next day. \u201cYou beat the Decepticon Headmasters?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve left for Animatros,\u201d replied Llyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat IS Animatros, anyway?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne of our colonies,\u201d explained Optimus. \u201cBots with beast modes instead of vehicle modes like us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat explains so much,\u201d muttered Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt sounds like you\u2019ve had quite the adventure on Nebulos,\u201d chuckled Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe has honored us with her involvement in its liberation from my father,\u201d proclaimed Llyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEr, then why do you still have your family crest?\u201d asked Optimus. \u201cDoesn\u2019t the House of Skargh now have dishonor staining its name?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSentiment, mainly,\u201d sighed Llyra. \u201cAnd it does.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLlyra,\u201d called Trema, \u201chow would you like to replace sentiment with a new beginning?\u201d She then took her own family crest off her shoulder and held it out to Llyra. \u201cThis has been too long. I have been a stubborn old woman to not notice your own honor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLady Trema?\u201d asked Llyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe House of Rozak,\u201d declared Trema, \u201cwould be honored to welcome you into our family as a warrior, a wife, and a leader.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoes this mean\u2026?\u201d gasped Llyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou and Galen have a wedding to plan, my daughter-in-law,\u201d chuckled Trema. Llyra got misty-eyed as she accepted the crest and pinned it to her shoulder. They then did a Roman handshake, then a hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know, if you\u2019re going to accept me into your house,\u201d mused Llyra, \u201cthen it is only fitting that I improve your position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to,\u201d assured Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut I must,\u201d insisted Llyra. \u201cGalen, Stylor, and I have been discussing your plans for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was not aware I HAD any plans,\u201d muttered Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLady Trema,\u201d offered Llyra, \u201chow would you feel about being named Nebulos\u2019 official ambassador to Mobius?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I\u2019m not a diplomat,\u201d argued Trema.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNor am I a politician,\u201d replied Llyra, \u201cbut this whole time has proven that fate can play cruel tricks on us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s right,\u201d mused Amy. \u201cMobius needs your skills. What\u2019s more, I need you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, my first duty is to my house,\u201d answered Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAm I interrupting?\u201d asked Galen\u2019s voice. He approached the group. \u201cWhat is this I see?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn top of me finally accepting Llyra into our house?\u201d quizzed Trema. Llyra showed her shoulder off to prove it. \u201cWe\u2019ve been discussing whether or not I should be Nebulos\u2019 ambassador to Mobius. As I told them, my first duty is to my house.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMother, I see no honor,\u201d replied Galen, \u201cin keeping you from your friends.\u201d Trema considered, then decided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt has been a great honor fighting Zarak with you, my son,\u201d she bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe honor was mine,\u201d replied Galen. Trema then turned to Llyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLady Llyra, as you accepted being Supreme Councilor,\u201d she declared, \u201cI accept being an ambassador.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExcellent,\u201d cheered Llyra. \u201cYour first assignment is to tell Optimus that Nebulos wishes to join the Autobot Alliance and fight the Decepticon Empire! You will also offer aid in any way you can, even combat aid!\u201d Trema grinned, then turned to the screen as Optimus grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOptimus, Nebulos wishes to join the Autobot Alliance and fight the Decepticon Empire,\u201d she relayed. \u201cI will give aid in any way I can, even combat aid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWonderful news to hear,\u201d chuckled Optimus. \u201cLlyra, we\u2019ll have to have a summit the instant Aleena and I finalize the terms of Mobius\u2019 membership into the Autobot Alliance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMobius?!\u201d yelped Amy. \u201cPart of some interstellar alliance?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d asked Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou and I have a lot to talk about when I get back,\u201d chuckled Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen can I expect you?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaster Trema, how long did it take the Retranga<\/em> to get here?\u201d quizzed Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet\u2019s see,\u201d mused Trema, \u201cNebulos is 23.35 light-years from Mobius and we were going at warp 7, not counting the interruptions from the D.J.D and Ex-Traboon Monzo, so, 13 days. But we\u2019re not taking the Retranga<\/em> home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTrema and I have already discussed this,\u201d supplied Llyra. \u201cYou\u2019re using the Space Bridge to return to the Autobot base on Mobius.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s a lot like the Ground Bridge,\u201d continued Trema, \u201cjust more intense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s going to take the better half of the day for our scientists to calculate where the Space Bridge portal will be placed,\u201d finished Llyra, \u201ceven with the coordinates Optimus gave us. So we have all day today to have a farewell tour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI would like that,\u201d cheered Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen I\u2019ll leave you to it,\u201d bid Optimus. \u201cSee you tomorrow.\u201d The call ended and Amy smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve missed Mobius,\u201d she sighed. \u201cIt would be nice to see home again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA feeling I\u2019ve had since I came to Mobius,\u201d remarked Trema. \u201cThere really is no place like home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amy, Trema, Natalie, and Sira were at the Space Bridge platform with their luggage in tow the next day. They were given a hero\u2019s farewell after freeing Nebulos from the Decepticons. Llyra was at the Space Bridge apparatus with a technician at the controls. He set the coordinates and a larger portal opened. Amy, Natalie, and Sira almost lost their footing. \u201cIntense was right!\u201d shouted Amy over the din.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCoordinates confirmed,\u201d called the technician. \u201cYou may proceed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMay honor and victory bless your battles,\u201d bid Llyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd may they bless yours,\u201d returned Trema. \u201cTell me when your wedding is. I don\u2019t want to miss it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI wouldn\u2019t dream of excluding you,\u201d replied Llyra. \u201cFarewell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFarewell!\u201d called Trema and her sister witches. They soon walked through the portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back at Autobot HQ, a portal opened inside the Ground Bridge apparatus. Optimus, the Autobots, and Sonic and his friends were waiting in the Command Center. Soon, four figures walked through, a Nebulan woman, two human women, and a female Mobian hedgehog with pink fur. \u201cSONIC!\u201d cheered Amy as she started hugging him. As she nuzzled her face in his chest, everyone noticed that he was less eager to get away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell I never,\u201d chuckled Optimus. Amy broke the embrace and turned to everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have a LOT to tell you guys!\u201d began Amy. To make a long story short, she told them all about her adventures on Nebulos and in space from running into the D.J.D to helping Starna place Black Scar in mode-lock and giving Zarak and his cronies discommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEven Megatron got discommendation?\u201d muttered Optimus. He then whistled. \u201cThat\u2019s a blow to the Decepticon Empire. If the leader of an organization was stripped of honor on Nebulos, the entire organization is stripped. Looks like Nebulos and the Decepticons aren\u2019t on speaking terms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEggman wasn\u2019t too happy about being stripped of honor either,\u201d recalled Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe\u2019s one of those people that would scoff at the notion of honor,\u201d mused Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEven so,\u201d sighed Optimus, \u201cwe DO have a bit of trouble since Nemesis Prime\u2019s allied himself with the Decepticons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBut, through those struggles,\u201d called a woman\u2019s voice, \u201cwe have a new wizard and new allies.\u201d A femme then came up. She was colored rusty red and copper rust green and had the ladder-boom of a fire engine on her back with the bucket behind her head. The fire engine\u2019s cab formed her feet while the rear of the engine formed her arms and shoulders. Her helm had horns like Ratchet\u2019s and she had a white face with red eye makeup and lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho are you?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am Pyra Magna,\u201d introduced the femme, \u201cleader of the Rust Renegades, or Torchbearers, whichever you prefer, and Optimus\u2019 teacher when it came to magic.\u201d She then looked at Sira. \u201cI understand you knocked some sense into my student when he went through a power craze.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI did,\u201d replied Sira. Pyra Magna then grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI owe you a great deal,\u201d thanked Pyra Magna. \u201cFor, through your actions, you have assured me that Optimus is worthy of wearing a Wizard\u2019s Crest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA Wizard\u2019s Crest?!\u201d gasped Amy. She then turned to Optimus. \u201cYou mean\u2026?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m now a full-fledged Wizard of the Red Order,\u201d confirmed Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCongratulations!\u201d cheered Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd your actions on Nebulos,\u201d interjected Sira, \u201chave assured me of my decision.\u201d She then drew out a necklace with a rose-based crest colored in red. Amy\u2019s eyes went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Me?!\u201d she gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAmy Rose O\u2019Hedge,\u201d proclaimed Sira, \u201cI, Sira Mayworth, Grand High Witch of Mobius, do hereby recognize you as a sister Witch of the Red Order. You have successfully completed your training and kept an open mind wherever you went in the universe, fixing mistakes as you went and learning from those mistakes. May you strengthen the universe as a true witch.\u201d She then tied the necklace around Amy\u2019s neck and it glowed red for three seconds before fading. Amy was misty-eyed as she hugged Sira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThank you!\u201d she bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re welcome,\u201d Sira replied softly. The embrace broke off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCongratulations, Amy,\u201d cheered Optimus. \u201cWe can certainly use another full-fledged witch in our group.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo,\u201d quizzed Amy, \u201cwhat happened while we were away?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWHAT HAPPENED HERE?!\u201d bellowed Megatron as he waved the report around. Nemesis Prime stood up on the bridge of the Nemesis <\/em>to explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy Lord, I had simply seized command when Shockwave was reluctant to\u2026\u201d he managed to get out before Megatron interrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou mean YOU\u2019RE the lunatic that set back my plans?!\u201d he roared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou are speaking to the current commanding officer,\u201d hissed Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGive me Shockwave!\u201d ordered Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI told you, I am in command of the Nemesis<\/em>,\u201d dismissed Nemesis, his arrogance on full display, \u201caccording to every rule set down before you left for Nebulos. If you have anything to say at all, it will be said to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere\u2019s only one thing I want to say to you, you weak carbon-copy of my young brother!\u201d roared Megatron. \u201cYou have jeopardized my plans! Shockwave, ship status!\u201d Nemesis rolled his optics before waving Shockwave over to report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWarp Drive out,\u201d she reported. \u201cShields down. Transporters under repair. Weapons systems are going through final checks. At our present rate of repair, we will be under full power in 10 days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat is your position right now?\u201d asked Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are currently assuming a holding position above the moon base,\u201d replied Shockwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cContinue holding position until I give the order to attack Mobius,\u201d demanded Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI told you, I am in command!\u201d shouted Nemesis. \u201cI will give the orders! We are going to attempt another bombardment of G.U.N. HQ!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNOT WITH MY SHIP, YOU WON\u2019T!\u201d bellowed Megatron. \u201cSHOCKWAVE, RELIEVE HIM AT ONCE! THAT\u2019S AN ORDER!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou can\u2019t relieve me and you know it!\u201d snapped Nemesis. \u201cAccording to my rule\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTO THE PIT WITH YOUR WARPED SENSE OF RULE!\u201d shouted Megatron. \u201cShockwave, I order you to assume command and hold Nemesis Prime in a cell on the base until repairs are completed! That is a direct order on my personal authority as leader of the Decepticon Empire!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt once, My Lord,\u201d confirmed Shockwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDon\u2019t you dare!\u201d growled Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNemesis Prime, you are relieved of command and are hereby ordered to the holding cell on the moon base,\u201d declared Shockwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t recognize a Decepticon\u2019s authority, even IF their views align with my own!\u201d snarled Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou aren\u2019t in your native universe,\u201d observed Shockwave. \u201cIt is illogical for you to try and force your views onto us. You ARE going to a holding cell for your irresponsible leadership.\u201d Nemesis didn\u2019t move. \u201cNemesis Prime, I do not wish to injure you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t dare!\u201d challenged Nemesis. Shockwave got into a fighting stance. \u201cYou\u2019re bluffing,\u201d dismissed Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is illogical to bluff at this time,\u201d replied Shockwave. Nemesis scoffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m not moving from this spot!\u201d he snarled. Wrong answer. Shockwave delivered a punch and a kick to the gut, a punch to the face, and foot-jabs at the knees. As Nemesis struggled to get up, Shockwave gave Soundwave a look. Soundwave then unleashed a tendril, wrapped it around Nemesis\u2019 waist, and shocked him so hard, he started smoking and lay unconscious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGot a cell ready for him,\u201d he called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPut him in it,\u201d ordered Shockwave, Soundwave dragged Nemesis off the bridge. \u201cLord Megatron, I shall be detailing more repair crews to try and accelerate repairs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSee to it immediately,\u201d sighed Megatron. He ended the call and snarled. \u201cAllowing him to assume command while I was away was a mistake,\u201d he muttered to himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cI don\u2019t believe it!\u201d called Optimus happily over the screen the next day. \u201cYou beat the Decepticon Headmasters?!\u201d \u201cThey\u2019ve left for Animatros,\u201d replied Llyra. \u201cWhat IS Animatros, anyway?\u201d asked Amy. \u201cOne of our colonies,\u201d explained Optimus. \u201cBots with beast modes instead of vehicle modes like us.\u201d \u201cThat explains so much,\u201d muttered Amy. \u201cIt sounds like […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[98,233],"tags":[146,337],"class_list":["post-1579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-transformers-mobian-chronicles","category-transformers-mobian-chronicles-arc-9-amys-alien-adventures","tag-sonic","tag-transformers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1579"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1580,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1579\/revisions\/1580"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
